The Siamese-Vietnamese War was a conflict between the Kingdom of Siam and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam during late November 2019 and extended into Early 2020.

After the two nations defeated Cambodia in The Cambodian War, Vietnam sought to become the dominant power in Indochina and began placing towns within Siamese borders. Siam demanded Vietnam to remove the two towns invited to Vietnam and to respect Siamese borders which was denied thus beginning the conflict.

Context

After the defeat of Cambodia during The Cambodian War by Siam and Vietnam, Cambodia was re-annexed back into Vietnam whilst Siam continued their hold on their territory in Cambodia.

On the 21st of October, Vietnam invited the town of Pleiku which was located in Eastern Siam to Vietnam causing the Siamese to become suspicious of the future intentions of Vietnam. Siam allowed Pleiku to remain apart of Vietnam but they were not allowed to expand West and no more towns in Siam were to be invited to Vietnam.

In November, the town of CiteDesDieux in Western Siam was established by French players who grew to have a bond with the French leaders of Vietnam. After they refused to join Siam, attacks begun on the town by Siam over several days which was seen as an attack on Vietnam after the town pleaded to Vietnam for help. Vietnamese forces met with Siamese forces to counter it leading to 5 deaths on the Vietnamese side and only 1 death on the Siamese side.

Prelude and Siamese Ultimatum

After the skirmish at Chiang Mai between Siamese and Vietnamese forces, the town joined Vietnam on the 20th of November which prompted Siam to demand they kick the town immediately or they would be risking a war with Siam. After the Vietnamese leaders had told Siam to declare war on them, they did which was the beginning of the war.
